<h2 id="bugs-and-feature-requests">Bugs and feature requests</h2>
<p>Have a bug or a feature request? Please first read the <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#using-the-issue-tracker">issue guidelines</a> and search for existing and closed issues. If your problem or idea is not addressed yet, <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/new">please open a new issue</a>.</p>
<p>Note that <strong>feature requests must target <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tree/v4-dev">Bootstrap v4</a>,</strong> because Bootstrap v3 is now in maintenance mode and is closed off to new features. This is so that we can focus our efforts on Bootstrap v4.</p>
<h2 id="documentation">Documentation</h2>
<p>Bootstrap's documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built with <a href="http://jekyllrb.com">Jekyll</a> and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at <a href="http://getbootstrap.com">http://getbootstrap.com</a>. The docs may also be run locally.</p>
<h3 id="running-documentation-locally">Running documentation locally</h3>
<ol>
<li>If necessary, <a href="http://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation">install Jekyll</a> and other Ruby dependencies with <code>bundle install</code>.
<strong>Note for Windows users:</strong> Read <a href="http://jekyll-windows.juthilo.com/">this unofficial guide</a> to get Jekyll up and running without problems.</li>
<li>From the root <code>/bootstrap</code> directory, run <code>bundle exec jekyll serve</code> in the command line.</li>
<li>Open <code>http://localhost:9001</code> in your browser, and voilà.</li>
</ol>
<p>Learn more about using Jekyll by reading its <a href="http://jekyllrb.com/docs/home/">documentation</a>.</p>
<h3 id="documentation-for-previous-releases">Documentation for previous releases</h3>
<p>Documentation for v2.3.2 has been made available for the time being at <a href="http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/">http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/</a> while folks transition to Bootstrap 3.</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/releases">Previous releases</a> and their documentation are also available for download.</p>
<h2 id="contributing">Contributing</h2>
<p>Please read through our <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">contributing guidelines</a>. Included are directions for opening issues, coding standards, and notes on development.</p>
<p>Moreover, if your pull request contains JavaScript patches or features, you must include <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tree/master/js/tests">relevant unit tests</a>.

<p><strong>Bootstrap v3 is now closed off to new features.</strong> It has gone into maintenance mode so that we can focus our efforts on <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tree/v4-dev">Bootstrap v4</a>, the future of the framework. Pull requests which add new features (rather than fix bugs) should target <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tree/v4-dev">Bootstrap v4 (the <code>v4-dev</code> git branch)</a> instead.</p>
<p>Editor preferences are available in the <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/.editorconfig">editor config</a> for easy use in common text editors. Read more and download plugins at <a href="http://editorconfig.org">http://editorconfig.org</a>.</p>
